Heading into the final Men's Round-Robin of the Milano-Cortina Olympic Games, there are a few things we know, and a lot left to be decided. Here we take a look at the possible Draw 12 results, and how each of the six teams still able to reach the Gold Medal can find themselves in the Play-Off.
For reference, the Draw 12 match-ups - Sweden V Czechia, Italy V Switzerland, the People's Republic of China V Germany, and Norway V Canada.
Switzerland
The Swiss were the first to clinch, and we also know that they will finish first, no matter the results of Draw 12.
Canada
The Canadians were the second to clinch, and we also know that they will finish second, no matter the results of Draw 12.
Norway
The Norwegians are 4-4, and finish third if they defeat Canada. There is a way that Norway can finish fourth, but we will come to that.
Italy
The hosts are 4-4, and finish third if they defeat Switzerland and Canada defeats Norway. They finish fourth if they defeat Switzerland and Norway defeats Canada. There is another way to finish fourth, and we will come to that.
Great Britain
Team GB are finish at 5-4. They finish third if Switzerland defeat Italy, the People's Republic of China defeat Germany, and Canada defeat Norway. They finish fourth if Italy and Canada both win or both lose. There is another scenario that sees them finish third, and we will come to that.
United States of America
The Americans at 4-5 are finished. They finish fourth if Switzerland, Germany, and Canada all win in Draw 12. There is another way to get to fourth, and we come to that.
If, in Draw 12, Switzerland, the People's Republic of China, and Canada all win, then Switzerland finish first, Canada finish second, Great Britain finish third, and fourth will be decided by the Draw Shot Challenge ranking between Italy, Norway, and the United States of America.
